My head hurts.

Doctor, help me, I can't

Go a day without crying 

A day without dying

When you say goodnight to me,

Cause I'm afraid you'll leave.

 

I miss my daddy

How he was, how he

Used to be,

Though I shouldn't, cause you're right there;

My head on

Your shoulder; just like before.

And I'm so glad to have you back

Still, I'm afraid

You'll leave me.

 

My head hurts.

Doctor, help me, I can't 

Function without decoding 

What is wrong with me

 

I need pills 

Numb the strain, make me better

More tomorrow;

My hope is a prescription

Please refill the bottle.
